Why does your parawing collapse on every jibe? The answer is apparent wind — and once you understand it, down loops, handle passes, and tacks all get easier. 00:00 Why it collapses 00:18 How the parawing works 00:49 Apparent wind explained 01:08 What happens on a jibe 01:33 Down loop 02:40 Handle pass 03:45 Tack 04:57 The bigger picture The parawing has no rigid frame. That's what makes it packable — but it also means its shape depends entirely on aerodynamic forces and line tension. When you turn downwind, apparent wind collapses. This video covers why it happens and three ways to work around it. ⚫⚫ GEAR PT-LTX 5.5 & PT-Hybrid 4.3@TripleSevenKites PEGASO 6'2"×19" - 73L HAV Foilboard 1130S / 850S - S Fuse - 120R/142AR @codefoils @windparadise_bcn ⚫⚫
